This companion is the first global, comprehensive text to
explicate, theorize and propose decolonial methodologies for art
historians, museum professionals, artists, and other visual culture
scholars, teachers, and practitioners. Art history as a discipline
and its corollary institutions—the museum, the art market—are
not only products of colonial legacies, but active agents in the
consolidation of empire and the construction of the West. The
Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art History joins the growing
critical discourse around the decolonial through an assessment of
how art history may be rethought and mobilized in the service of
justice—racial, gender, social, environmental, restorative, and
more. This book draws attention to the work of artists, art
historians, and scholars in related fields who have been engaging
with disrupting master narratives and forging new directions, often
within a hostile academy or an indifferent art world. The volume
unpacks the assumptions projected onto objects of art and visual
culture and the discourse that contains them. It equally addresses
the manifold complexities around representation as visual and
discursive praxis through a range of epistemologies and metaphors
originated outside or against the logic of modernity. This
companion is organized into four thematic sections: Being and
Doing, Learning and Listening, Sensing and Seeing, and Living and
Loving. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art
history, visual culture, museum studies, race and ethnic studies,
cultural studies, disability studies, and women’s, gender, and
sexuality studies.
